We complain because the cleanliness

We complain because of the injustice
involved in thisort of treatment, and be
cause of the injurious effect it has upon

that filthy and squalid surroundings have
an effect detrimeatal to the highest intel

of the inferior accommodations accordeG

We pay the same amount for fare from plac.

Mr.. De Pauw is credited with having been
the greatest Of American plate glass manu-

longest known as the great patron Of the In

founded in 1887, and for forty years
thereafter it remained but a university in

A few years ago Mr.. De Pauw, the presi-

rescue by meeting the university's immedi-
ate wants and providing for its future on q
magnificent scale. Under his patronage the
college was at once reorganized and expanded
into university, the trustees voting that it
should hereafter bear its benefactor's name
Besides his liberal donations during life Mr.
